The 1:12 scale witches dress can be made from fabric or paper. The white witch pattern can be stamped or decorated to create your own costume design. If you want a traditional witch, print out the black witch design, or cut the costume from black paper or fabric.
Make the hat and broom according to the previous instructions
To Make a Witch using only a 1:12 scale head and hands
- Cut out the main dress piece and the sleeves from fabric or paper.
- If you are using light paper or fabric and a heavy head, reinforce the paper with card, or make a cone support for the fabric body from card using the dotted lines on the white witch dress pattern.
- Roll the paper pieces gently around a pencil or pen to curve them.
- Fold up the base to form the dress hem.
- Form the Sleeve Hem. - The sleeves join at the shoulder, measure your chosen sleeve length and turn up the bottom (non tabbed edge) for a hem.
- Use sharp scissors to cut the tabs free at the rounded shoulder. Turn them down along the fold line. Leave the large central tab free.
- Glue the straight side edges of the sleeve together along the narrow 1/8 inch tab. Leave to dry.
- Fit the sleeve into the armhole. Glue the tabs under the front and back armhole edges of the dress, leaving the shoulder tab free (see photo).
- Glue both arms in place. Leave to dry
- Glue the front and back shoulders to the large sleeve tab, to form the dress shoulders.
- Glue or tape the doll's neck into the back of the dress centered on the back seam.
- Glue the center back of the dress together with the neck and head in place. If the head is heavy, set a cone of cardboard under the dress for support.
- Position the arms/hands holding a broom and glue the wrists and hands into position in the sleeves. Fold the sleeves to form a natural arm pose.
- Glue hair on the witch (hemp rope is used here)
- Glue the hat in place.
- Trim the dress base so the witch stands.
